Happy Sunday, and happy Mother’s day to all my mumma friends. Today is the first Mother’s Day where I’ve been a mumma myself, to two small furry cat babies. This is also the first Mother’s Day where I haven’t been at home to spend the day with my mum which feels a little unusual, but I’ll be spending the evening with her when she comes over to mine for dinner that I’ll be cooking. Aren’t I a good child?
Mother’s Day is a great time to remember just how much I appreciate my mum. My mum is very special to me, and is one of my closest friends, and even more so over the past 18 months. I wrote last year about why I was thankful for my mum, and if you’re a long term follower of my blog you’ll probably know that in 2014 mum had a pretty big stroke. Life has changed a lot since then, and while mum still hasn’t made a full recovery, we’re pretty much 95% of the way there. Mum can now drive again, has become more independant, and is joining in with things she used to enjoy before the stroke. While it’s been a very up and down journey, mum has never let it get her down, I couldn’t be prouder.
It’s been a good week to be proud of people in my life, not just my mumma. A few years ago at the age of 50 my dad decided he wanted to start a master’s degree. He’d been out of education for 30 odd years, so it was a pretty big thing. He then gave up his weekends to study, and spent most of his time taking over our dining table to work on his essays. While this was going on we’ve had some pretty stressful family times. Of course there was my mumma’s stroke where my dad managed to keep everything together and still turn his essays in on time, along with other problems, but still he’s managed to keep on track with his masters. This week he received his results, and not only passed, but got a commendation. I couldn’t be prouder of him and I’m excited to go watch him graduate in July.
Boyfriend also has done something pretty big this week that’s made me proud, but I have to keep quiet about that until nearer the time. For a week that started off quite badly for me with things at work and so on, it’s nice to see that the week has turned around quite nicely. The weekend again seems to have gone really quickly too, even though I don’t feel like I’ve done much. I went to a clubbercise class on Friday which was pretty hilarious. And I spent most of yesterday cleaning my flat and volunteering at the cat shelter, before going out for dinner with two of my friends.
I’m going to spend the rest of today relaxing before mumma comes over for dinner. How’s your week been?
About three weeks ago I posted Mission Healthy Eating/Loose Weight So I thought I’d give you all a little update. So for three weeks now I’ve been on this project. I’ve been hitting the gym quite often, although I could probably do more. But I do feel like my fitness has improved. When I first…
Every month on the blog I mention my favourite beauty products from the past month, but I never mention anything non-beauty related that’s been a favourite of mine. I decided this month to try something a bit different and talk about a few things that have been my favourite during August. Zest Magazine At the…
A while ago I blogged about how I wanted to give up sugar with the help of Healthy Sugar Habits 6 week detox programme. My detox programme ended on the 2nd March so I thought it was time to update on how I got on. I mentioned in my first post that I’m a complete and utter sugar addict….
So, Hi. It’s been a little while hasn’t it? Here we are, nearly at the end of July, and there’s been hardly any posts on Lisahh-Jayne this month. Well this month I’ve been somewhat of a busy bee, so lets have a little catch up with what’s been going on. At the beginning of the month I…
Every Sunday when I sit down to write this post I’m surprised at how quickly the past week has gone, and of course this week has been the same, where is the time going?! It’s already February, and we’re 6 weeks into the year, I swear it was only Christmas the other day! Once again…
It’s been a busy couple of weeks with Christmas parties, visiting family, and of course the big day it’s self. Now that the festive season is well and truly over, and my Christmas tree is packed away, it’s time to get back into a routine. Tomorrow is my first day back to work after a…
